Hello friend,
The mission that God has
given us on this planet is to become saved, to change into a better person, and
then to bring others to Christ. In Romans 12:2 the Bible says, “Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that
by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect.”
As humans we have flesh,
and it strives to coerce us into doing things that our spirit would not permit
us to do. The more we fill our minds with fleshly garbage like immoral music,
movies, and friends, the harder it is for us to say no to the flesh that we
have. Romans 8:7 states that, “For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile
to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.” God’s love for
us is evident by the amount of work that He put into teaching men about the
do’s and don’ts of Christianity. We need to take this seriously.
Another big stumbling
block for Christians is that we all get distracted from time to time. This is
common, but we can’t afford to lose sight of what our ultimate goal should be.
We need to spread tracts, witness to those who are unsaved,
and most important of all,
we need to grow in God by reading the Bible, and by studying the word with
other Christians. Galatians 2:20 says, “I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.”
Please remember that the
mission that God has given you is more important than anything else on the
earth. And the gift of salvation is the greatest gift that any man could ever receive.
In Christ,
Noah Brewster
